Meet Kelly!

Kelly Gallagher is the dynamic founder of The Superhero Project and has helped hundreds of families during their NICU journey. The Superhero Project was established in 2015, a year after her twin boys were born 8 weeks premature. Kelly has donated $45,000 and brought the gift of Angel Eye technology, a 24/7 camera system that allows families remote access to see their infants, to 4 Philadelphia area hospitals. These cameras allow families and hospital staff to work together as a team to care for the premature infant. ​

Kelly has also brought gift baskets, gift cards, hotel stays, photo sessions and carved the idea for The Gift of Time room at Holy Redeemer Hospital, a space where families who have lost their baby can spend time and make memories.Besides being a passionate philanthropist, Kelly is a busy mom of 4 young children and a full time 2nd grade elementary school teacher.

In 2017, Kelly was nominated and honored as a KYW Women of the Year recipient in their Under 40: Rising Stars Edition. Kelly's hope is that The Superhero Project can continue to impact lives and provide support and encouragement for NICU families.
